Just when we thought Selena Gomez and The Weeknd were the Real Deal and on the brink of a red carpet moment together, it's reported that the latter mentioned singer wants to keep things quiet… For now.

The Weeknd is seemingly not into the whole 'shipping' thing, and wants to be literally anything than the next Hiddleswift. Sob.

“He wants to shut down all the extra stuff, he doesn‘t want to be seen out and about everywhere with her and all over the news and social media as a couple,” a source told HollywoodLife.

“He wants to be known as an artist and the relationship can thrive behind closed doors.” We're ninety per cent sure that you can actually have both. Eg. Adele.

But wait, there's even more source speculation.

“He is not in any mood to be the next Bennifer or Brangelina and if it gets to those crazy levels he will shut down the relationship immediately,” they continued.

“He doesn‘t want to be a pawn in anyone’s game, he doesn‘t want his relationships to become a Taylor Swift type joke.”

Hey now, no need to bring T-Swizzle into this.
